Queen Camilla has made it her goal to stand with rape survivors, encouraging them and uniting them to fight this societal threat.
The 78-year-old has won hearts with her latest move amid Andrew’s fallout over his dealings with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Camilla has written a personal letter to a rape survivor, expressing her “sincere admiration for the courage, grace and dignity” with which the lady faced the crimes committed against her.
In her letter, the Queen told Pelicot that she had “inspired women around the world” and “created a powerful legacy that will forever change the narrative of shame.”
The victim praised the Queen for her heartwarming gesture, revealing: “It was an honor for me to receive this letter, I didn’t expect it at all.”
The survivor became emotional as she explained her feelings, saying: “overwhelmed that the Queen could send me this letter.”
It was a complete surprise to Pélicot when she declared: “Even if my words touched the whole world, I did not expect a letter from the Court of England. »
Pelicot suffered nearly a decade of abuse at the hands of her estranged husband, who repeatedly drugged and raped her.
He also recruited men on the Internet to attack him.
Pelicot made the remarkable decision to waive his legal right to remain anonymous. The trial, which transformed her into an international symbol of resilience and strength, continued for 15 weeks in Avignon in 2024.
Its objective was to ensure that “the shame changes sides” from the victim to the rapist.
Queen Camilla’s decision clarifies her position amid Andrew and Epstein links as she affirms her support for survivors.
